where is it located in the tank? i just took my car to have it changed and he said it was in the tank so i told him not to worry about it. i could have sworn that i herd it was out of the tank could some one please inlighten me

 

Its on top of your differential, Its not really too bad doing it yourself.

 

He's an idiot. It's above/forward of the tank, directly above the differential. Raise the rear, remove both rear underpanels. Use a 1/4" 10mm socket with a 3" extension, and IIRC that will loosen both of the bracket bolts w/o a problem. Then when it's loose you'll have enough room to free the hoses.

Above and just in front of the rear differential. (IIRC) two 10mm bolts and a couple of hose clamps. Good luck.

I just changed mine out today, it wasn't too bad of a job. Good luck with yours

 

Never ever go back to that mechanic again...

 

It must be fuel filter weekend. Mine's getting swapped out tomorrow (did the plugs/plug wires/O2 sensor today).

 

Hey Marko, it's been a long time! I used to be on MachV all the time (aggietsi). I'm just sucking it up and saving for the FD now.

 

Wow, what a coincidence. I just did my plugs and wires yesterday too. I changed out my fuel filter and fuel pump today. Yeah, Injen, I don't know what the guy was thinking but it's on top of your differential. The fuel pump is in the tank.

 

I had gotham move it out in the open when they changed mine so now I can just reach up and change it for now on no problems. All you need is some more fuel lines to move it the rear subframe

 

Make sure you remove the two bolts holding it to the car (gold colored bracket -bolts are horizontally aligned, not the vertical ones) and pull of the 2 fuel lines. Doing it this way should take no longer than 30 min for the whole process.

The first time I changed the fuel filter, I took 2 hours because I couldn't see it well enough to figure out what to unbolt. I think I was trying to remove the filter from the clamp holding it to the braket, which didn't work at all. I'm a dumb ***. lol

 

I plan on doing this today, i've never actually put my car on jack stands. Where would i put the jack stands to support the car when i lower the jack? I'm just wondering sorry for the dumb question.

 

unless you're a masochist, relocate it....the stock location sucks
